Marginalized Communities

African American / Black Community

The African American/Black community in the U.S. is diverse and vibrant, with deep historical roots dating back to the transatlantic slave trade and rich cultural contributions across all areas of society. This community faces unique challenges including systemic racism, health disparities, economic inequities, and barriers to educational and legal resources. Many organizations work to support empowerment, civil rights, and community well-being.

Alaskan Native Community

Alaskan Natives are Indigenous peoples of Alaska, including groups such as the Inupiat, Yupik, Aleut, and others. They have distinct languages, cultures, and traditions tied closely to the land and subsistence living. Challenges include geographic isolation, access to healthcare, preservation of culture, and economic development. Tribal organizations play a vital role in advocacy and services.

Arab American / Middle Eastern & North African (MENA) Community

The Arab American and broader MENA communities in the U.S. include people from diverse national, ethnic, religious, and linguistic backgrounds originating from the Middle East and North Africa. They contribute richly to American society but often face civil rights challenges, discrimination, and cultural misunderstandings. Many organizations provide social, legal, and advocacy support tailored to these communities.

Asian American Community

Asian Americans comprise a vast and diverse group originating from countries across East, Southeast, and South Asia. This includes people from China, India, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and many more. Despite stereotypes of success, Asian Americans face disparities in health, education, and representation. Community organizations focus on mental health, civil rights, leadership, and cultural preservation.

Desi Community

The term “Desi” refers to people with roots in the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan. The Desi community is culturally rich and religiously diverse, facing challenges such as immigration issues, language access, and representation. Advocacy groups and social services support education, mental health, and immigrant rights.

Latino / Hispanic Community

Latino and Hispanic communities in the U.S. originate from a wide array of Latin American countries, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central and South America. They are culturally diverse and contribute significantly to American life. Challenges include immigration, language barriers, access to healthcare and education, and economic equity. Numerous organizations focus on civil rights, education, and cultural empowerment.

Native Hawaiian Community

Native Hawaiians are the Indigenous people of the Hawaiian Islands, with a rich cultural heritage and deep connection to their land and traditions. They face ongoing challenges related to sovereignty, health disparities, housing, and economic development. Tribal organizations and advocacy groups work to preserve culture and promote community well-being.

Pacific Islander Community

Pacific Islanders include peoples from various island nations such as Samoa, Tonga, Guam, Fiji, and Micronesia. They have distinct cultures and languages and often face challenges related to health disparities, immigration status, and representation. Advocacy groups work to elevate Pacific Islander voices and provide culturally specific services.

Many organizations serving marginalized communities understand the importance of language access. Here’s what you should know:

• Multilingual Services: Numerous groups offer services in languages commonly spoken by their communities, such as Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Somali, and more. Check each organization’s description or contact them directly to confirm language options.
• Interpreter Services: If you need an interpreter for a service or appointment, ask the organization in advance. Many provide free or low-cost interpretation, either in person or via phone/video.
• Translation of Materials: Organizations often have informational brochures, application forms, and online content translated into multiple languages to help you understand your rights and available services.
• Community Language Resources: Some organizations connect you with bilingual community leaders, cultural navigators, or volunteers who can assist you in your preferred language.
• Language Access Laws: Federal laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, require recipients of federal funds to provide meaningful language access. This means many public programs and nonprofits must accommodate your language needs.
• Tech Tools: If an organization does not have in-house language support, consider using reputable phone interpretation services or language apps as a last resort.
